It's possible with VBA. Do a search in the archives:

http://google.com/advanced_group_sea...ugroup=*excel*

NOTE however, that blinking cells may be a violation of section 508 of
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (they can trigger epileptic seizures),
and are in any case damned annoying...

You might try an OnTime Event procedure to alternately change a cell's
background color back and forth. But it would not blink very fast.

Look at the archives using the URI I gave you - there are dozens or
hundreds of examples.

See http://cpearson.com/excel/ontime.htm for more help on OnTime.

Nope.

You need some of that VBA stuff.

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:
